Abstract

The spiral grooves structures could promote load capacity and improve stability of the gas journal bearings working in high-speed condition. In this study, the unsteady Reynolds equation is solved by linear perturbation method and finite difference method in which the mesh of the groove region is specially treated. The static and dynamic characteristics of spiral grooves journal gas bearings are investigated in different working conditions and the pumping effect caused by spiral-groove structure is revealed and analyzed. Further, the influences of groove structural parameters on the dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients are studied and discussed, which provides guidelines for the design of the journal gas bearings with spiral grooves.
